Just got the new ones in today (ball joints failed and removing them revealed the threads in the control arms were toast.)

Do you have any recommendations on a good staring point for aligning the control arms? Is there a default position? Can I follow any general youtube video?

Just got it in New tie rod ends, shocks, drag bar, idler arms and as soon as I get these in it's new rotors, bearing, calipers. Did a ton of rust repair as well. Taking her to the desert in a couple weeks, so feeling the pressure of the the ticking clock. At least it isn't my engine ticking.

 

Install the new ones as close to where the old ones are at as you can get. Once you have it all assembled, get an alignment. Should be golden.
